Wow. First week Columbus Crew. Garcia has proved to us once again he stinks. Wynne would have been nice. good thing we traded him. ARGH.. Whats the deal with White? PASS the ball man!

anyways.

Here it is in Six minutes.

Columbus first team to qualify for playoffs

Salt in the wound weekend. Toronto Fc's Arch nemesis are the first to qualify for the MLS playoffs. ARGH!!
Jeff Cunningham pulls into a tie for "The Golden Boot" award scoring 2 goals over the weekend.
There is a strong chance Toronto will not make the playoffs. And all the talk around the team right now seems to be what is going to happen next season. I am not going to lie. Talk of next season drives me crazy!! This one is not over yet. Worry about next season in the off season.

On the TFC game over the weekend. The effort was there. unfortunately Garcia was the designated shit player. I do not really want to sum up the game so here it is in six minutes.

later

TFC vs. Columbus first game next season

Crew in Columbus on March 27th... TFC season opener.

I have a few thoughts on this and none of them are good. I think that the brain trust at the MLS has been working overtime. They know that the past 2 seasons Columbus vs. Toronto at the beginning of the season was a hit. well screw that... Apparently they were not paying to much attention. Otherwise they would have noticed the away fan attendance dwindle last season. They should have noticed in forums, newspapers and websites that traveling fans were getting pissed.

I went to the First BIG Columbus road trip. It was tons of fun but we were treated like shit and the people on Columbus made fans feel un-welcome. I went to the 2nd BIG road trip to Columbus and it happened again X2. Although Dave and Trav witnessed drunk boobs for the first time. How can the MLS expect us to travel to Columbus again? It is a shitty trip. I am not going (or at least at the time of this posting I am not going).

Reasons I do not like the idea of going back;

-Un-Organized
-Long ass drive
-No benefits for going other than supporting my team that can not beat Columbus anyways
-Treated like shit
-treated like shit just in case you missed the last one

I was really hoping the season would start in New England, Chicago or New York. Really those are places I would like to go to. It is difficult to justify to the wife why I need to go to an away game. First game of the season kinda fly's. Why would I want to waste it on Columbus!

I have been so annoyed about this announcement that I have not checked out the Red Patch Boys website to see the reaction they have but I am willing to bet it is similar to mine.

I hate Columbus.

I will probably go anyways.

Trillium Debacle

Saturday's game in Columbus started off well. The Crew were first on the board but TFC's Dwayne De Rosario would answer back 3 minutes later to tie the match up. Four minutes into the second half it looked like Ali Gerba was the saviour Toronto needed as he netted his first MLS goal. Columbus was able to fight back and tie the game up again and eventually win it in Extra time. This allowed Columbus to extend there unbeaten streak to 19. I was really hoping to see TFC hoist the stupid Trillium Cup but instead it looks like i need to wait another season. The Major turning point in the game was when Amado Guevara left in the 22nd minute with an injury that the team called an "upper-body contusion." and was replaced by Velez. VELEZ!! come on we must have someone better on the bench then VELEZ!! A monkey armed with a bag of shit couldn't mess things up more than that guy. anyways.. I hope that Wednesday produces better results!

Toronto FC face The Columbus Crew

Columbus currently sits one point above Toronto in the Eastern Conference. The Trillium Cup will be decided on Saturday at Crew Stadium. The teams have played to a pair of draws in their meetings this season and Toronto has never defeated the Crew in club history. It would be nice to add more trophies to the case. Toronto already has picked up some silverware this season. I do not think that tonites match up will have the same sort of Toronto FC fan following as in previous match ups. The cold hard truth of the matter is Columbus is a shitty town to visit and they treat us like garbage in the stadium. Ali Gerba is making his MLS debut tonite. Hopefully he brings some of his Gold cup success with him. Ali scored a goal for Canada earlier this month in crew stadium. The Crew are currently on a four-game unbeaten run, including a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake this past Saturday. For TFC midfielder Sam Cronin is out, because of international duty, while forward O'Brian White, Nana Attakora and Adrian Serioux are questionable with injuries. You can catch tonites game at 7:30 p.m. ET (ONN; RogersSN)
